Hi All,

On behalf of the Nexenta project, I'd like to announce the
availability of the Nexenta Core Platform 3.0 alpha2. This is the
second release in NCP3.

The main changes over the Alpha1 release include:

* move from Opensolaris b124 to b129. This brings the long awaited ZFS
deduplication support to the distribution.
* Many additional network drivers.
* nexenta-on-source changes

>From the release of NCP3, all sunw* packages are natively built on
Nexenta. The complete sources are available in the repository, along
with Sun Studio 12 and other tools to roll your own kernel.

The nexenta-on-source package makes it very easy to build the
opensolaris ON gate on NCP3

apt-get install nexenta-on-source
cd /usr/src/nexenta-on-source && apt-satisfydepends
dpkg-buildpackage -sa

This is an alpha release, and a moving target until we reach the final
release. It is in a good shape for developers to tinker with.. and we
welcome community efforts to improve NCP3.
